Beach house vacation rentals in Half Moon Bay

Beautiful space that was well appointed. The home was super clean. Al was an attentive host, answering any questions we had. This location is special. Beautiful ocean front sites and sounds and at the same time being close to the city and the airport. We had a great time relaxing in the backyard, hiking up Mori point, and visiting the pier. Welcoming destination, would recommend for a relaxing getaway.

The place was amazing and far exceeded my expectations the moment I stepped inside. Everything was high-tech, modern, and felt brand new. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't use the fire area due to the rain, but overall, I had a great experience. My only comment is that there were quite a few security cameras, including in the backyard. I see the pros and cons about it, but I felt a bit excessive.

We never wanted to leave! beautiful place, extremely gorgeous surroundings, lots to do nearby, great recommendations from Stefan and all the guests felt like they had the best room. I loved how pelicans would fly by right at eye level, we could pop down the beach in less than a minute, I could look out and see the endless ocean from almost any room, the kitchen was big and bright, and I even saw some whales migrating north!!

Aaron's place is a wonderful retreat right on the water. It is a beautiful house that is private and tucked off of the main road. Everything we needed was there. Full kitchen with great appliances, cozy living room & bedroom. All main rooms of the house have wonderful views of the water, bay and mountains beyond. Sitting on the deck is incredible with the water coming in below you at medium and high tide. The hot tub is excellent amenity! relaxing outdoors and seeing the moon & stars is an unforgettable experience! Aaron is a great host, very communicative and friendly. Highly recommend.

This place was AMAZING. I didn't want to go anywhere because the views and setting were so beautiful. I just loved walking up and down the beach path and sitting on the deck enjoying observing the surfers. We saw dolphins one day. Both of the living areas (dining room and living room) were positioned so you could enjoy the natural beauty. People were so friendly and the neighborhood was chill- not always what you find in popular destinations. The kitchen is well stocked and the cook enjoys some great views too. We cooked some of the time and ordered in the rest- because who would want to go to a restaurant when you could have a view like this? The home itself is old and has some wear that is expected with a beach front home. The woodwork throughout the home is beautiful and adds a nostalgic feeling. This really is a special place. For us, it was a splurge- but well worth it. I dream about returning. Thank you!

The beach cottage was a live, close up view of a bird’s paradise. We saw heron, snowy plovers, cranes, turkey vultures, crows, turkeys, and more! The girls loved finding treasures on the shore. The beds were comfortable and the Grandmas Velma loved the bed ‘right on the water.’ We all enjoyed the hot tub with a view! Tom and his crew were so helpful and responsive. They’ve thought of everything and really want to provide their guests with a comfortable experience.

The location was perfect, less than a block to the beach, with a walkable or bikeable pathway extending in both directions. The house was comfortable, with all of the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. There is construction currently along the beach pathway which unfortunately blocks the view a bit, but hopefully that will be done soon. It didn’t take away from being so close to the beauty, sounds and breeze of the Pacific. Would stay again!

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful home. I loved hearing the waves at night. The house was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend it and I would stay here again. The property is beautiful and close to restaurants, shops, and great walking trails.

Monika's place was indeed a home away from home. The location was great, and the place was extremely clean. She also did as good a job as any host that I've dealt with in providing detailed instructions regarding the facility, as well as all kinds of info about local points of interest and available services. Indeed top notch. My family and I were visiting San Francisco, and Monika's place afforded us a very convenient and more reasonably priced option to downtown. No question that we would look to stay there again when we get back to the area.

Had a great stay! Bjorn replied quickly to messages. The place was beautiful and just as described. Overall we had a wonderful time! Would definitely book again.

We have been coming to Pajaro Dunes for 37 years. Our family loves it. This house needs some attending to. In one of the downstairs showers, the soap dish on the wall was broken. You need to be VERY VERY careful. My nephew cut his thumb and needed to get stitches. I was told I could check in before the rain started, but the office hadn't unlocked the house on their end. I had to drive back to the check in office and ended up getting wet while unpacking the car. Not the end of the world, but a little irritating. It took quite awhile to figure out the space heaters, some did not work. Kitchen pots and pans need updating - bring your own!! We had a great time and lots of great memories continue for our family.

We were a family of 5 and we felt at home as soon as we entered the cottage. It was very well appointed and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we could ask for during our 10 days there. The surrounding property is a true paradise. Can't find other words to describe it. The hosts - Kristen and Athena, were extremely friendly and helpful. We found nice hiking trails nearby (the panoramic views over the Bay are priceless), as well as good restaurants in charming Tiburon. We will definitely come back.

Our family had a great time staying here! The condo was beautiful, clean, spacious and stocked with all the supplies we needed! The bedrooms were comfortable and clean with plenty of space, the kitchen was great and we appreciated the coffee bar and pans for cooking. The living room is a fun place to chill and the condo is super close to the pool and tennis courts and the beach! Vincent was friendly and easy to communicate with and check in and check out was very easy. Hoping to stay again in the future!

Great location, great stay. Beautiful and comfortable space. Worked well for our family of 4. The third bedroom felt a little far away to have our littlest stay in alone but thankfully the second bedroom had a large bed for both kids. Wagon and chairs provided were great for the beach.

We had a great stay! The place was a great value—clean, nicely decorated, and very comfortable inside. The hosts were super responsive and made everything easy from check-in to check-out. Convenient access to everything we needed. Would definitely book again in the future!

Sarah's place was such a vibe! Could see the ocean's view in the backyard, and very near to the beach if you want to take a stroll. Also well located with Safeway just 5 mins away. About 30 mins to SF, and 20 mins to Half Moon Bay. Quiet neighborhood which was great for us.

Our family stayed at Evan’s place this past weekend Saturday & Sunday . We had a few questions throughout our stay and Evan was very responsive to our messages . Our 3 daughters ( preteen , teenager and young adult ) and their friend accompanied us. The walking distance to the beach was a huge plus! We enjoyed our stay and having a jacuzzi onsite was a huge bonus! We highly recommend Evan’s place and we hope to be back when we are back in Santa Cruz !

The house is absolutely amazing. It’s a short drive to restaurants and shops. The walk to the beach is only a couple of minutes. The ambiance of the house is warm and cozy. So many amenities were available including the indoor fireplace, the outdoor grill and fire pit, as well as bikes for the family. The outdoor space is perfect for dining. Even though it was a bit cold, the outdoor heater made it warm enough to stay outside at night. The host was extremely helpful and welcoming. Absolutely loved the house and we really hope to come again.

This was the perfect house for our family. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds comfy. The living room on the top floor had amazing views of the ocean. Would highly recommend for a family getaway.

Really relaxing stay. Perfect location and great place!

Great location! Friendly and responsive host. House was lovely and just as described.

We had a wonderful time at Alla’s place! Our group of seven (including some seniors) all felt right at home. Lovely neighborhood and an easy walk to the shore and food meant we barely used our cars. We would absolutely stay again!

The house was clean, with beautiful surroundings and great accommodations. The area is quiet, with easy access to town. Our favorite part of the house, aside from the easy access to the beach, was the Press Room - a small building with a bar, games, and press clippings adorning the walls. Overall, my family and I would happily stay here again.
